Shocking reports coming out of Arsenal indicate that Kai Havertz could leave Arsenal in the summer.
The report claims that Mikel Arteta’s patience with the German has grown thin and that he is willing to count his losses with the former Chelsea man.
Kai Havertz, 24, joined Arsenal for £65million in a shock move from Chelsea in the summer of 2023. Havertz, who only scored two league goals for Chelsea last season, was brought and dropped into the middle of the park by Mikel Arteta for 21 of the 23 games he has played this season.
The German is a profile which confuses many and even at Arsenal, many are not certain of Arteta’s intentions towards the player. The manager himself has defended the former Bayer 04 Leverkusen player in the media and has given him the confidence to score some goals and provide some assists for the Gunners.
However, the general agreement is that the experiment has been an expensive bust so far in a world where immediate results are prioritized over long-term projects. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, there are “questions about his adaptation to the team and his ability to make a difference on the pitch.”
Fichajes goes on to claim that the Gunners’ patience with Havertz has been exhausted and that they will go on to seek a summer move for him when the season is over. There are no interested teams at the moment, but the report claims that they are willing to work to recoup some of the money spent on the player in the summer.
The report also claims that Arsenal are hopeful that the player can take this as a challenge to turn his situation around with the player. Their minds are already made up about his future which leaves the ball in his court. As such, Arteta will continue to give him opportunities on the pitch and allow him to express himself fully and contribute to their season.
